SANDB4GGED.

a Man who Claims to Have Been
Robbed of $50.
The Hoboken police telephoned last
evening to Chief of Police Murphys head
quarters in this city, directing that detect
ives be started out to find party of high
waymen who had attacked John E. De
Moines, of No. 279 Ninth street, and
robbed him. He had staggered into Hobo
ken to tell the story of the assault there.
According to his statement he stopped on
his way from New York at a saloon on
West and Harrison streets to take drink.
Three men he met there became compan-
ionable. and invited themselves across the
river with him. They had several drinks
on this side, and started to walk towards
Hoboken in quest probably of more booze.
When near the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western trestle works, the three men
Jagged behind, and finally one of them
struck him with a sandbag and leveled
him. While he lay on the
ground the men went through him.
and, he declares, robbed him of $50 10 had
in his pockets. The police picketed all
the approaches to New York, but failed to
ca CHI the highwaymen. The police have
found out that he was not very badly hurt
by the sandbag, and they do not place a
big pile of credence in his story. The men
found a vacant lot at the number he had
given as that of his residence.

DUNN COMES BACK.
An Ex-Bonrd OF Works Employee Who

An Ev-Bonrd OF Works Employee Who
Skipped After Beating His wife.
Last February a warrant was issued for
the arrest of VIM. Dunn of No. 1856 Con-
gress street, an employee of The Board
of Public Works, who had beaten his wife.
The assault was most unprovoked and
cruel. The poor wife was not only black
and blue but one eye was closed as the re-
suit of the assault. She is delicate and
refined lady, and to be so abused by her
husband was more thaa she could be
expected to bear. and on her complaint
Justice Aldridge issued the warrant. Dunn
heard of it and skipped ross the river.
For the sake of his child, and at the solicit
tation of his friends, he returned this week.
Deputy Sheriff Cotton got news of his re-
turn, and apprehended him yesterday, and
he was arrested. After part of days i'm
prisonment Fire Commissioner Conroy
went his bail, and he was released last
evening. Judge Aldridge gave him some
good advice. His little wife seemed happy
to have aim free. and he promised to do
what is right and protect her, instead of
abusing her again.

Although these decisions are decided VIC
tories for the Proprietors, except they must
pay reasonably for the land they condemn,
the mill owners are determined to make a
strong resistance to the diversion of the
streams in QUESTION for the uses of the
company, and propose to carry the matter
to the Supreme Court of the United States
and have it determined how private pro-
perty may be taken bv companies of this
character for their own use under the
cloak and cover of public use, because as
to the supply made to individuals and
municipalities there can be no question
that the company cannot extend their
right of eminent dom lin beyond the neces-
sary use of water for public purposes, and
it is clear that the courts must determine
whether the use is of public nature and
whether the necessity actually exists.

form the Marriage Ceremony.
Justice Streng of Hoboken was smoking
his after supper segar Friday evening when
bis door-bell was gently tinkled. When
the door had been opened, his eyes saw a
young couple outside awaiting admittance.
The maiden's bushes were concealed by
the veil that covered her face. The mans
confused manner showed his embarass-
ment. After apologizing for disturbing tie
Justices evening rest, he stanmeled out
that he had TAKEN the lady there to be
married. " hen he had invited them in

mony performed,
'Mus. tell all that? ?" asked the
maiden with tremor in her voice.
"Yes," was the inexorsb BILE answer.
swell, then" replied the damsel, ''if VIC
must, we must. Tell him, CLarIie"
Charlie lodged the issue by saying that
they had come from New York, that his
parents opposed the marriage, but the
girls were willing. The Justice kaew he
mad not got the whole story, but h5 made
ready 10 write a record of the young peo-
pie. The first question was as to the age
of the young man.
"Iwenty,' was the reply.
81 cannot marry you" the Justice de
clared, as he dropped his pen on his table.
ttYou are under age"
"Oh, my God, do it !" pleaded the youth
SEER Heavens sake marry us. We must
get married.
The girl put tiny red and blue bor-
dered handkerchief under her veil and she
was visibly affected.
ssOh do please" she said pleadingly.
"No, cannot take the responsibility. If
you had told me you were twenty-five
would not have hesitated, that is if yeur
lady il of manageable age"
81 am over nineteen years old, said the
girl.
"But," exclaimed the young man, brac-
ing himself to the ordeal he had evaded q
few minutes before, 'I will impart the
secret to you, Judge. We loved each other
and intended to wait for year or two, but
in an ungarded moment she yielded to my
entreaties. 1t was all my fault and now
intend to make amends by marrying
her."
81 feel very sorry indeed that such is the
case, but cannot marry you; your parents
could prosecute me-
For fully ten minutes the young couple
argued with the Justice, but hopelessly
AS the couple lett, adness was depicted
on the face of the young man, but he said
"We will get somebody to marry US. .
Remember" replied tue Justice, in a
sympathetic tone of voice, shat you must
be of legal age"
Il will not only remember it, but I will
swear it, answered the sad young man, as
he tenderly took his love by the arm and
led her down stairs.
In speaking of the visit Justice Streng
remarked that he had no doubt bat that
the couple are married by this time, as ii
his opinion the young man will misrepre-
sent his age in order to succeed.
